Autry (knee) was activated to the Texans' active roster Monday.

The 35-year-old began Houston's 2025 campaign on the reserve/PUP list due to a knee injury. However, he's since been activated to the Texans' active roster and has a chance to make his season debut in Monday night's matchup against the Seahawks. Autry recorded 13 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and three passes defended over 10 regular-season games in 2024. If active in Week 7, he's expected to play a reserve role on Houston's defensive line.

Ebukam is expected to miss multiple weeks after sustaining an MCL injury in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Chargers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

The veteran edge rusher is seeking a second opinion regarding his MCL injury, but he's currently expected to be sidelined over the next couple of weeks, at minimum. Ebukam has played 208 defensive snaps over the Colts' first seven games this season, recording 24 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks. In his stead, Tyquan Lewis (groin) and rookie JT Tuimoloau are expected to serve as Indianapolis' reserve defensive ends.

Hyatt failed to reel in his only target in Sunday's 33-32 loss to Denver.

Darius Slayton missed Sunday's game due to a hamstring injury, but Hyatt couldn't take advantage of the bump in opportunity. In fact, the only Giants wide receiver to catch a pass was Wan'Dale Robinson, who gathered six receptions on 12 targets for 95 yards. In terms of snap count, Hyatt (25) lagged far behind Robinson (70) and Lil'Jordan Humphrey (74), so Hyatt may drop to fourth in the pecking order when Slayton returns to action. On the campaign, Hyatt has managed a meager three catches on nine targets for 17 yards through five games, with all three of his receptions coming in one contest (Week 6 versus Philadelphia).

Raiders coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Meyers (knee/toe) and tight end Brock Bowers (knee) are both expected to return to action after the team's Week 8 bye, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Meyers missed his first game of the season during Las Vegas' blowout 31-0 loss to the Chiefs in Week 7 while Bowers hasn't played since Week 4, but the Raiders anticipate having both pass catchers back in the lineup versus Jacksonville on Sunday, Nov. 2 in Week 9. Trade rumors have also surrounded Meyers in recent weeks, and back in late August he in fact requested to be dealt elsewhere by Las Vegas. The team's midseason respite could provide a space for the Raiders to explore options on that front prior to the NFL's trade deadline on Tuesday, Nov. 4, but as long as he remains on the roster, Meyers projects to resume handling his usual starting role moving forward.

Norman-Lott sustained a season-ending torn ACL in his right knee during Sunday's 31-0 win over the Raiders, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.

Norman-Lott exited the Chiefs' Week 7 win in the third quarter due to a knee injury, which has now been revealed to be a torn ACL. The rookie defensive tackle from Tennessee had played just 70 defensive snaps through his first five NFL games, recording five total tackles, including 1.0 sacks. Now that he's expected to miss the remainder of Kansas City's 2025 campaign, expect Jerry Tillery to operate as the team's top reserve interior defensive lineman.

Raiders coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Bowers (knee) is expected to be back on the field after the team's Week 8 bye, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Bowers hasn't played since Week 4 due to a lingering PCL injury and bone bruise, but the star tight end is expected to be back in the lineup Week 9 versus the Jaguars on Sunday, Nov. 2. Carroll said the same of wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee/toe), who joined Bowers on the sideline during the team's blowout 31-0 loss to Kansas City in Week 7. Bowers surpassed 100 receiving yards Week 1 but then logged three consecutive games below the 50-yard mark and without a touchdown while playing through his knee injury, so fantasy managers will hope he's able to return to both full health and his usual productivity levels when back in the lineup.

Spillane tallied two total tackles (one solo) during Sunday's 31-13 win over the Titans.

The 29-year-old linebacker tallied just two total tackles in Sunday's win, marking his fewest in a regular-season game since Week 14 of the 2022 season. Despite the quiet outing, Spillane still leads the Patriots' defense with 53 total tackles through seven games. Additionally, he's tallied two passes defended, including one interception, and one forced fumble. Spillane is expected to remain a viable IDP option in the Week 8 matchup against the Browns.

Singletary rushed twice for two yards in Sunday's 33-32 loss to the Broncos.

Despite the fact that New York entered the fourth quarter having built a 19-0 lead, Singletary continued to spend almost the entire game on the bench. His two carries came on consecutive plays late in the second quarter, and he logged just one additional offensive snap in the contest. The veteran running back got some extra looks when Tyrone Tracy was sidelined with an injury in Weeks 4 and 5 (and for part of Week 3), but while Tracy and No. 1 back Cam Skattebo are healthy, Singletary will be relegated to few opportunities in the Giants offense.

Chaisson tallied three total tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Titans.

Chaisson found the end zone for the first time in his NFL career during Sunday's win, returning a Cam Ward fumble for a four-yard score in the third quarter. The veteran edge rusher has already tallied 4.5 sacks through his first six games in 2025, which is just a half-sack short of his previous best in a single season. He's expected to continue starting opposite Harold Landry to form New England's top pass-rush duo in the Week 8 matchup against the Browns.

Waller is considered week-to-week due to a strained pectoral that the Dolphins do not believe will require surgery, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Waller was forced out of Miami's loss to the Browns in Week 7 after playing just 15 offensive snaps without recording a catch, and he now appears to be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's matchup against the Falcons. With the Dolphins already without Tyreek Hill (torn ACL) for the rest of the season, an absence for any stretch of time on Waller's part will be a significant blow to a passing game that's already struggling. Tight ends Julian Hill and Tanner Conner will benefit from increased workloads Week 8 if Waller can't go, as will wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine in the No. 3 role behind Jaylen Waddle and Malik Washington. Head coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Waller isn't expected to be available versus Atlanta or on Thursday Night Football against the Ravens in Week 9, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network.
